I know I’m a #parent now because the Children’s Orchard (Amesbury) 50 cent sale is now my #SuperBowl.

I am so sick of parking a million miles away from people to avoid jerks and then walking back out to find yet another jerk parked INCHES from my car.

I just had a #realization today: I am exactly like #PoohBear. I only exercise to improve my appetite. Also, I remain “stout” no matter what. Oh, bother.

I am forever reminded how small the world is. So many of us have strands tied to others that we only become aware of randomly, but maybe if we really looked, it would’ve been obvious all along…

The wondrous nook where I once read books and dreamed so many somedays was now dust-covered and tarnished. It may have always been that way, but I had never noticed. So entranced was I that imaginative transportation took me far from reality.

I don’t understand how anyone can believe in a loving creator when good people keep having truly awful things happen to them.
